The Liberal convention is at an end. C. E. Allen of this city has been nominated for congress, and everybody is satisfied that he will be defeated. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the temporary organization at the Ogden convention con-vention was displaced by the permanent o Ulcers, and Judtre C.C.Goodwin of this, city was escorted to the platform as permanent perma-nent chairman. He made an interesting speech, as he always docs, and was heartily applauded. ! C. E. Alien of Salt Lake then presented ' the party platform, which was adopted. It I is as follows in its main features: THE LIBERAL PLATFORM. Mot in convention, tho Liberal party, as a first duty, turns in reverend thankfulness to call over lovingly the names of the heroic hand who long j ago organized ttje party and through ye ars of trial I i kept its flag "full high advanced." j The Liberal party fails to ttre any such changed ; conditions as others assert they see. It looks upon the assurance th a: conditions have changed : a a theory and not a an established fact, and it recoil from the proapect of imminent statehood. Anxious as every Literal is to see every difference differ-ence adjusted, as imsious as they ore -to- exercise the utmost privileges accorded to the most favorable favor-able Americans, Ihey remember what first caused clashing here was the presence and control of an unyielding theocracy and an imperiuia in ii)erin, and they cannot fail to note that at the last conference of this theocratic organization the old assumptions were all renewed. Tue bliss which await a polygamic family m heaven was vividly portrayed and the necessity of paying tithing as u Urged upon and tlta declaration was boldly made that tuay are a distinct people, that tlieir spiritual and temporal affairs are inextricably inex-tricably blended, and that the only remedy for tronbleor differences should be an appeal to the priesthood. Hence, reasoning with charity, tut remembering remember-ing the iron discipline which prevailed here so loug, the conclusion is irresistiuLe that with Um opportunity which would tome with statehood im-ir pnejmofia would again assume complete control; all laws sesking to restrain that absolute rule and practices which would be pursued under it would lie ignored and made a dead letter if not a theme for jest. The Liberal party joyfully marks the advancement advance-ment which has come where Liberal rule prevails. We do not claim to be less selfish than others, but we fervently believe that what we seek holds more mercies to the members of thee .urchof Jeus Christ of Latter-Day Saints than to our-- our-- selves. Therefore, he it reeolred: That we once more pledge our fealty to the Liberal party and its principles. , That we .are mialterably opposed to near state hood for Ttah. Thnt we favor onrh leeiclation as shall aernre to KilTrtr K Immemorial place as a perfect mea-ure mea-ure of valuenand a money of full ultimate re-tleiription. re-tleiription. Thnt we favor all legislation which adds new mercies and takes away liardnhips from working men and women. Tli:;t we tlmnk Governor Arthur L. Thomas for such a une of tlie veto power daring the session of tlie last Utah lecislnture as fave a clear vinion of the ned of keeping buc'q power in the hands of tiie chief executive. Itolievine; thai the only organized opposition to the echer.ie for the admission of Utah into the m i now openly and lioldlv advoiat-'d by our opponents, must torao from the Liberal party nnd that the ho1 way to give opposition effect is throutrli the ballot box, we call upon all who be-li-ve tiiat ne ir statehood would be fraught with disaster to vote for our nominee for delegate to couress and to present such a determined fiont .J tnat our protests will avail. - NOMINATIONS I.V ORDER. Nominations for deleeato to congress were next called, and Mr. A. . Campbell presented pre-sented the name of O. W. Powers. A recess was then taken of twenty minutes, and on reassembling a telegram was read to the effect ef-fect that Judge Powers would not accept the noininatiou. A resolution of regret was immediately im-mediately passed by the convention. Another telegram was read from H. W. Lawrence, in which he refused to allow his name to go before the convention. R. T. Pettingill then presented the name of C. e! Allen of Salt Lake. A motion was made after many speeches had been heard, that Mr. Allen be nominated by acclamation. The motion was put and Mr. Allen was declared de-clared the choice of the convention. Mr. Allen was called for aud proceeded to address ad-dress the convention in a speech of considerable consider-able length. Three candidates for commissioners to locate lo-cate university lands were presented, the nominee being William Farrell of Weber William Nelson of Salt Lake and E. A. Wall of Tooele. A territorial central committee was appointed ap-pointed as follows: G. M. Knox of Davis O. W. Powers, J. K. Gillespie, Harry Haines of Salt Lake, E. XV. Berry, James Ivers of j Summit, A. G. Campbell of Tooele, John I E. Hill of Utah, R. C. Lundy, K. T. Pet- tingill, William Harcombe of Weber, Isaac Smith of Rich, Dr. Shock of Sevier.

Allen was called for and made the principal prin-cipal speech of the eveniug. He said that the church will wait and de-t de-t cide whether Cleveland or Harrison will win I and if Democrats seem to predominate Utah I be lomoeratic, otherwiso Republican. Cheers and applause. As long as there is necessity for it every Liberal should stand to his guns. We are not standing on the neck of a fallen enemy, but one which faces us with power far from being broken, waiting wait-ing for us to lay down our arms and' then they will turn upon us their gattling o-uns Patterson of Weber, Judge Hogue and Rev.
